Protect Your Pet's Paws in Extreme Heat

Our dogs may be our best friends but we have to treat them as such - that includes not neglecting their paws. It is easy to do so as it is part of their bodies which we do not really see that often. Little paws are vulnerable and susceptible to various extremes such as the heat and the cold. It is very easy to take our dog out for a pleasant walk and forget about how it's paws may be reacting.

The purpose of paws ...Obviously getting around is the main purpose but did you know that dogs breathe from their paws and that they act as a shock-absorber helping to regulate body temperature. They also have sweat glands in order to cool the dog down.

Risk factors...Whilst we are soaking up the summer sun with our specially adapted footwear our dogs are particularly exposed to paw damage. The heat on asphalt for example can seriously damage your dogs paws as it reaches dangerously high temperatures. This should be avoided at all costs. There is a test you can do - put your hand on the outdoor surface and if you cannot hold it for more than five seconds then your dog should have no contact with it.

Avoiding sun exposure...Grassy areas are a great alternative to concrete and dogs love running around on the grass. Little boots can also be an option if you have no access to grassy environments

Signs and symptoms...If your dog is limping after being out then be concerned. She may also lick or chew the paws and you may notice a change in color of the paw pads.

The solution...

OmegaPet's Paw Soother reduces swelling rapidly. Your dog may need antibiotics in addition or even bandaging of the paws if the heat injury is very serious. It is a good idea to have a supply of these just in case but hopefully our best friends paws will survive the summer harm free.

Why Buy From Us

What people are saying about us...

“These nail clippers are nice. They are comfortable to hold and I love that it has a nail file in the one side of the handle because I always file my dog's nail edges so that they do not snag or crack. The only issue I have is that they do not close completely when they are locked shut and there is about a 1/8" gap between the blades. Other than that, these are great because you don't have to go searching for the nail file.”Donna

"I absolutely love this product! First of all, I love the pure natural ingredients. And secondly I love the result. Under my eyes I think I would like a product that tightens the delicate eye area a little more. But overall, the quality of my skin has has become better because of this product. I have gotten several compliments recently on my face!"Robin

“This is amazing shampoo for using on our wire haired Shorkie poo. He gets very itchy skin & so far this shampoo has really soothed the issue. I love this shampoo by OmegaPet is all natural because that is so important to me. We have had this about a month & bathed our dog 3 times & it is even healing a few thick skinned sore spots he has. The dogs fur feels & looks great after his bath, shiny & smooth.”Bernadette

“My dog had an ear infection from hell and this stuff really cured it. I tried cleaning with ear wipes and homemade solutions to no avail. Every vet visit seems to magically cost over $100 so I didn't want to take that option. It shipped quickly, and I followed the simple instructions on the label. It only took about 2 days to begin seeing good results. By the 4th, everything was cleared up and her ears looked and smelled great.”Joanna
